The time has now come for the PACE trial authors to stop misrepresenting their own results; acknowledge the inefficacy and harmfulness of CBT and GET to prevent further unnecessary suffering inflicted on patients by physicians/therapists, which is the worst of all harms, yet totally preventable.

I could not see this posted elsewhere - apologies if I missed anything.

"They received absolutely no approval from oversight committees for this redefinition of recovery."

I thought that had not been confirmed either way yet (although I suspect their refusal to confirm is a result of them not having approval). Maybe Tuller is trying to smoke them out with his assertion? Seems like a needless risk to me.

In the Vink piece there's this:

"In up to 82.2% (CBT) and 79.8% (GET) of patients their health was made worse, confirming the outcomes of numerous patient surveys that CBT and GET are ineffective and harmful in a (very) large percentage of patients."

I don't follow his arguments about PACE confirming the outcome that CBT and GET are harmful for a large percentage of patients. I think that he must have made an error somewhere to be concluding that.
